A REBELLION IN 1889.
THE UNITED STATES THREATENED
WITH a soCiALISTIc REVOLT.

Places of Power to BE Seized and the Gov.
Srnment OverthrOwn-Private Titles 70
Lands to Be AbOlIshed-Rents to Bo UA-
known and Record Books Burned.
CHICAGO, April 27.-A few days ago The
United Press contained Q report about q
projected combination Of the three principal
Bocialistic organizations in this countryside
Red Internationalists, the Black Information.
Alists, and the Socialistic Labor party.
While the aims Of the last two mentioned are
widely known, but little Is generally known
Of the Red International, or International
Workmens' association. This association
was founded in San Francisco in 1885, and is
Said to be well organized in all tae principal
cities throughout the western states.
1t is announced In documents furnished
their members that an uprising is expected In
1899. The document says the present crisis
will approach climax, but continues: "The
time is not yet ripe for success To strike
this year would be to uselessly slaughter our
best people and put back the cause one hum
dred years We must tako advantage Of it
for agitation aud education only We must
speak much and act not at all One year of
panic means tripling of our forces at the
very least. And while, with our present
100000 American Socialists, forcible action
Is impossible, with 100000 (Which the next
panic will give us if we manage wisely, we
hold the game in our own hands.
"We have perhaps until 1889 in which to
perfect our plans, That year in Europe will
surely bring grave results. In America, II
figures lie not, another panic greater, dseper
and more widespread than the preceding will
be upon us. Then, and not till then may We
risk a cast Of the iron dice. Then we may
trike and strike to win. The probabilities
are in favor Of our having in 1889 in the
United States at least half million earnest
Socialists. The panic comes, the public Il
Axcited, outbreaks occur, the large centerB
revolt, the places where but few Socialists
sxlst are made points for rallying Of the
conservative elements. In these small
places it should be made the duty Of the 10
cialists there presiding secretly and with all
the aid of science in destructive warfare, to
raise sufficient turmoil to keep the Conserva-
tive busy at home. Meanwhile in large CEN
ters bold measures should be taken. Our
people should head, lead and control the pop
ular revolt; should seize the places Of power;
should lay hands upon the machinery of
government"
Under that regime the pronunciamento
declares that private title to lands will be
abolished, rents shall be unknown, record
books shall be burned, the title to all ma
chinery shall be vested in the common
wealth, the present owners turn their ma
chinery over to the state without compensa-
lion, and all business stocks shall be contls-
Gated. This is the organization which con-
templates the formation of a union with the
"Blaclls, or adherents of Johann Most, and
with the moderate members of the Socialis-
tic Labor party.

PA1ldina Reservoir Blown Up with
Dynamite.

COLUMBUS, o., April 27.-The long ex-
pected outbreak over the Paulding reservoir
began last evening. The following telegram
which reached Governor Foraker to-day ex-
plains the situation:
'"Tw) hundred men marched to the canal
m body, captured the guards and held them
In confinement until daylight They worked
all night on the front and rear of the resoE~
voir, cutting the ground enough to let tho
water out. Then they poured coal oil on the
lock and the keepers house, burning it up
Ono hundred more men went to Tate's and
The other remaining lock, burning them up
with dynamite. No locks remain on the
Wabash canal, and mob law reigns suprema
The people of Defiance and Paulding Coun-
ties call on you to protect State property.
''E SQUIRE"
Another telegram from Defiance, signed
by @, A. Flickinger, conveyed the same in
formation and asked protection Similar
kilograms came from Frank Eagle and L. B.
Peaslee, the latter saying that effective
measures should be taken to preserve the
state property and the public peace. Gov
Ornor Foraker at once took cognigance of the
matter, and there was a iltation with
the war department. Adjt. Gen Axline
was telegraphed, and is on his way to the
seat of war. The Henry county militia has
been orderd to Defiance at once, and are
now getting their guns in order Other COM
panies of Toledo and the immediate vicinity
have been ordered to be in readiness
The governor has issued the following pro-
clamaton: "Now, therefore, l, Joseph B.
Foraker, governor Of Ohio, do hereby call
upon all said rioting and evil disposed per-
sons, to desist at once from their unlawful
actions, and to disperse Immediately to their
homes; and / hereby warn them that failing
TO do so, they will be Immediately compelled
TO such a course, so far as the protection, re-
pair and preservation of public property Of
the state is concerned. All persons failing
to observe and comply with the commands
hereof will do so at their peril"
kilograms were sent to G. A. Flickinger
and others conveying the information that
troops had been sent to aid the civil authori-
ties
The sheriff of Paulding county was re-
quested to make an official demand for help.
Flickinger was ordered to at once begin re-
pairs, and to warn all disturbers that they
interfere at their peril.
The Paulding reservoir trouble is of long
standing. The Paulding county people con-
tend that it is a nuisance, and the Geyer
bill of last winter to sell it caused a tre-
mendous racket, involving the entire canal
system
There were repeated threats by Paulding
people that they would destroy the reservoir
with dynamite, and they have made their
threat good However there is now no fear
Of any serious outbreak from now on

A DesperedO's Death DtsclOses q DiM-
bOlical Plot.
GALVESTON, Tex, April pa special to
;he News from Laredo, says: Marailano Gar
yer was shot and killed here yesterday morn
ng by Theodore Sandus. An investigation
Of the killing developed a conspiracy to COM
nit one OF the most daring robberies ever at
tempted in Texas, the robbery of the Milmon
National bank The bank officials had re-.
| ceived information that an organized band
Of men, composed of Americans and Mexi-
cans, had concerted plan to rob the bank
on the afternoon of April 1S, at 3 o'clock.
Two OF the gang were to enter the bank. One
Of them was to present check to the teller,
and when that official looked at it was to
level a pistol at his head, with the command,
"Hands upl Be silent!' His confederate
was then to enter through the presidents
room and rob the vault.
In the mean time five others of the gang
we're to ride up, leading two saddled horses
for the use Of their friends in the bank, which
the latter were to mount, after having se-
cured the booty, and ride away, protected by
the other five men. Every day since the
bank was notified it has been secretly
guarded by determined posse Of deputy
Sheriffs. Yesterday Jesus Perez, franciscan
Ramons and Manuel Alquita were arrested
ON a charge of being implicated in plot to
rob the bank Subsequently Henry Barnard,
the leader, was arrested on a train between
here and San Antonio and was brought 70
this city and lodged in jail,
InoH appears from the statement Of Thno-
dore Sandus, the slayer Of CARVER, that
they were members of the gang, and that all
the members had taken a solemn oath not to
divulge the purpose of the organization
under the penalty of death. CARVER having
accused Sandus of betraying the gang, the
latter shot him. Sandus, however, claims
that the deceased attacked him with bowie
knife, and that the shooting was done in self
defense Bernard, who is highly connected,
attacked two others of the gang who were
confined in the Jail with him last night with
knife he had concealed i'll his person and
cut and dangerously wounded them. He ac-
cuses them of "squealing." 1t is thought
One of them will die
